International Development Week 2019

February 3-9 is International Development Week (IDW), a chance to celebrate Canadians who are helping reduce poverty and grow peace and opportunity in communities around the world. (Start the celebration in your congregation on February 3 – PWS&D Sunday!)

This year’s theme “Together for Gender Equality” embodies Canada’s commitment to the global effort to address gender inequality and encourages all Canadians to take part in advancing gender equality in the world.

Through PWS&D, Canadians are supporting vital projects in development and relief that are promoting and advancing the rights of women and girls—ensuring girls have access to education, empowering women and girls to claim their rights, expand their livelihoods, build healthy futures and improve their prospects for the future.

Thanks to PWS&D’s faithful donors, advocates, supporters and partners, we are reducing global poverty and building hope and prosperity for all creation—one person at a time.
